Sometimes in life we may feel “stuck” and unsure how to move, overwhelmed, or alone. We may experience depression or anxiety, go through an experience that leaves us shaken, or hit the end of our rope and burnout. For some of us, we reach a place in life where we lose touch with ourselves or perhaps even come to a crossroads where we have a drastic shift in our understanding of the world and question all that we have known. It is in these times where we may be looking for extra support and need a calm, compassionate space to be seen…

Are you ready to let go go old habits and ways of thought that shackle you? Would you like to move through your stuck places, your anxiety and your depression? Many people believe they are stuck in anxiety and depression when what they are really dealing with is a spiritual crisis. Once we bring in a level of work that acknowledges the very real struggles that they are dealing with, people begin to heal in new ways.

Navigating through anxiety and trauma can feel like a relentless storm, leaving you feeling overwhelmed and unsure of where to turn. My approach focuses on creating a safe and supportive space where you can explore these challenges with empathy and understanding. Utilizing Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), we aim to foster acceptance of your thoughts and feelings, commit to action that aligns with your values, and work towards healing. Additionally, incorporating elements of the Gottman Method enhances our work, particularly in healing relationships affected by trauma and anxiety.

Hi and welcome to Story Unfolding LLC. I believe therapy to be a dynamic process which can facilitate a greater understanding of self and others while providing gentle direction in shifting long standing beliefs, patterns, and behaviors. We all have stories of our lives we recite to ourselves and others; some of these stories are ones which build us up while others are ones which hold us hostage. We also all have histories in these stories; histories of identities we hold, labels we were given, trauma we experienced, circumstances we can never understand, behaviors we are not proud of, and the list goes on.
